Anyone know why this is so? I'd have thought a hung parliament would increase the likelihood of a softer Brexit or second referendum which the markets would approve of, unless they're going with the increased majority = hardline Tories less influential chain of thought?
I think there is significant logic to that latter claim, but there's a couple of things I'd say affecting the pound there.

Firstly, a hung parliament means risk which worries investors which hurts the pound.
Secondly, the suggested parliament from today's poll didn't really point towards any stable government. If neither the Tories + Lib Dems, or the "rainbow coalition" could actually get a majority of seats then I don't see how we'll have a government.

Plus - the pound really hasn't fallen that much. But I'm sure it will if there's actually a hung parliament.
 
Do they think coalition of chaos is actually going to work? I know it worked last time but come on that can't be polling well
 
This is opening up to be a Tory whipping so far. Maintain the focus all!
 
I'm liking the plan the "coalition of chaos" are adopting of just smashing the Tories! G'wan boys & girls!!!!

Sticking to what they know when they're boxed in a corner. Political equivalent of hoofing it to Andy Carroll.
 
Really wish they'd gone back to just the big three parties, waste of time having people like Wood and Nuttall there.
